I had blood drawn about a week ago, before i started taking supplements. I am currently taking folic acid, b complex, iron, and vitamin c. When i got my results back, my hemoglobin was 11.6. It needs to be 12.5 for me to have a mommy makeover, based on what my plastic surgeon says. Is it possible to build it to a 12.5 in a matter of 2 weeks with eating folate rich foods? My primary care says that my iron levels are perfect. He says that for me, 11.6 is normal due to the alpha thalassemia.
